FFaaddeerr MMooddeess
The row of keys on the left (Level, Pitch, Envelope, and Loop/Slice) set the fader mode, that is,
which parameter the faders control. Changing a parameter value will affect the sound when a
pad is pressed and when the track is recorded into a pattern. The key is illuminated to indicate
the current mode. When no key is illuminated, the faders are in Mixer mode. The faders, knobs,
and A/B buttons have different functions in each of the five modes, as described below.
Common Button Functions
Many buttons or button combinations are common across all fader modes.
Fader Lock
F8: Lock/Unlock the faders for the current fader mode
F9: Lock/Unlock the faders for all fader modes
When locked, moving the faders or knobs has no effect on their associated parameter. Holding
Shift while moving a fader acts the opposite of the current lock state. That is, if the faders are
locked, holding Shift while moving a fader will modify the parameter, and if the faders are not
locked, holding Shift moves the fader without modifying the parameter. This is especially useful
for aligning the physical fader with the parameter before modifying it.
Reset Parameters
Back+Pad: Resets all sound parameters (level, pitch, filters, etc.) to their defaults for that track.
In Multi Mode, Back+Pad resets that track’s multi parameters for the current fader mode
(pitches, slices, etc.).
Parameter Settings
Shift+A: Displays the parameter settings for the current fader mode. All of the settings are per-
track. In Multi Mode, some settings are per multi. All parameter settings menus have a “*Set for
all tracks” function which copies the value of all settings marked with an asterisk to all tracks.
Shift+B: Displays the filter settings when in Mix, Level, or Pitch fader mode.
In Envelope mode: Switch envelope. In Loop/Slice mode: Toggle looping.
Modify Pattern
The Modify Pattern function is common to all parameter settings menus. This function sets
either the selected parameter or all parameters for either the selected track or all tracks to the
current fader/knob values throughout the whole pattern. In Multi Mode there is also the option
to modify only the selected track&pad in the pattern.
A+Pad is a shortcut to Modify Pattern (or B+Pad for filter). Press and hold the track’s A button
then press the pad, and the entire pattern will be modified with the current setting of the
current parameter (based on the fader mode). In multi-mode, A+Pad modifies the pattern with
the multi value only where that multi pad was recorded.
